Fraser Fyvie has praised the support he received from the backroom team at the Hibs’ Training Centre as he recovered from his knee injury.
The midfielder suffered a bad injury at the end of an away game against Morton on 2nd February and returned to the bench last Tuesday against Livingston after missing 12 games including the League Cup Final. He did not feature in the victory over Livingston however he started Saturday’s game against Alloa Athletic.
The former Aberdeen and Wigan Athletic player now hopes to play a part in Hibs run to the end of the season, starting with tonight’s game against fellow promotion rivals Falkirk.
When Fyvie suffered his injury, Hibs were well clear of the Bairns however a poor run of results leaves the Easter Road side six points behind with two games in hand so whoever wins tonight will be favourites to secure the second spot.
Speaking to Hibs TV, he said: “It was good to get back on the pitch but the result wasn’t great at all and the performance wasn’t up to the standard that we expect of ourselves and what the manager expects of us.
“I felt fine and have been working with the physios who got me back really fit and made sure I was right before I got back in It was very professional the way they done it and I came back on Saturday and have had no problems since.
“I never ran for about six weeks, but all credit goes to the physios, and Paul Green especially, who I done my running with. Sandi, Pete and Kitty were all great with me.
“But to get my main fitness up, Paul Green done sessions with me every day for three or four weeks without a day off, so it was intense, but it was worth it, especially to get put in and go for 90 minutes.
“We’ve had a dip in form of late but we have games to come and we will have to fight for second place. we had hoped to be a good few points in front of Falkirk by now but credit to the as they have done great but on Tuesday we will be ready to go for the three points.
“We just need to play as a team and as a unit and get back behind the ball when they have it and break fast when we have it.
